American Catholic Radio

Week of July 9, 2018 — Program #18-28

Living Faith

Judy Zarick speaks with C. Vanessa White, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Spirituality at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. Dr. White reminds listeners not to neglect care of ourselves as we perform various ministries in our homes and parishes.

Ask a Franciscan

Franciscan Father Greg Friedman answers these pastoral questions: What is the Church’s position on circumcision of infants? Are adults who became Christians and were confirmed as adults required to be confirmed again if they subsequently become Catholic? Should we receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation often, or only when we’re conscious of having committed serious or mortal sin?

American Catholic Radio (ACR) is designed to help you know your faith, so you can grow in your faith. It’s a weekly half-hour of information and inspiration, in the popular style of the Franciscans. Each week’s ACR draws its inspiration from the liturgical season, current events, and enduring Catholic topics. Our goal is to be both timely and timeless. Here you’ll find the wisdom of the saints, the rich tradition of the Church’s liturgy and practice, moments of reflection, examples of the daily lived faith of modern Catholics, and the thoughts of contemporary Church leaders and thinkers–all presented in harmony with Church teaching. Each program is built around two extended interviews. Other segments offer continuing features.
